The United Kingdom‘s visa reforms designed to curb migration by restricting postgraduate students from bringing dependents or using their academic status as a conduit to employment will plug immigration loopholes and close a backdoor to work, a minister has said.
“The significant rise in students bringing family members is putting untenable pressure on public services,” Suella Braverman, the country’s Home Secretary, said on Twitter. “Tightening the student route will help to cut migration by restricting post-graduate students from bringing dependents or using the route as a backdoor to work.”
The UK government announced new immigration rules on Tuesday aimed at restricting the number of family members that international students can bring into the country. The move is part of a broader effort to curb a sharp rise in visas granted to dependents of students.
